Casa Vallejo was established way back in 1909, and much of the original structure has been standing for more than 100 years already and has seen the city of Baguio grow around it. Casa Vallejo has a grand history and was recently awarded by the Baguio Centennial Commission as one of the 10 oldest institutions in the city. What started as a dormitory and later became one of Baguio's premiere hotels has been given new life as a boutique hotel located near the heart of the City of Pines.

Casa Vallejo is located along Upper Session Road and thus is just a stone's throw away from Burnham Park and SM Baguio.
